Our government has effectively convinced the people that COVID-19 does not pose a danger to them. Witness the largest one day gain in the stock market yesterday. There are only two ways to look at this pandemic:
- 100 million dead is acceptable collateral damage to keep the world’s economy intact.
- We are facing a pandemic which will impact everyone worldwide on a personal level.
While I could argue both sides, there is one point no one addresses: the world’s economy is going to collapse regardless of the pandemic due to out of control debt. I do not want to see mass graves being dug in the United States for political expediency.

David -- -- There were mass graves in the US back in 1918-1919 due to the epidemic.
I read where Italy is just warehousing bodies in cold storage because public funerals are forbidden.
But when the cold lockers fill up, what then….??
Think crematoriums will see full 24-7 usage here. No other way outside of mass graves if this has same case fatality rate as the Italians are experiencing (between 15 and 30 % depending on reports).
Mountain Guerilla had an excellent comment to his most recent submission on how to make your own handy disinfecting wipes (which are no longer available in store or Amazon):
You can make your own hand sanitizer/wet wipes with a piece of cloth the size of a handkerchief, a half gallon freezer bag, and a bottle of 91 percent isopropyl alcohol put into a smaller (4 oz) container. Cloth and the small container are carried in the freezer bag. When you need to wipe something down wet the cloth with the alcohol, then wipe it down, same thing with your hands, then put the cloth back in the bag for the next use. High concentration of the alcohol inside the bag will kill any residual virus between uses.
(And, as I also deduce, will kill any viruses that were transferred to the small bottle when you contaminated hand reached inside the bag. But what about the outside of the bag? Perhaps an open pouch is needed which can be lined with the open ziplock…..so that you can carry it and not cross contaminate the outside or its contents….. Geeze, nothing is gonna be easy…….. )
